[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a young professional and a new older gentleman in his 60s started working at my job. People were recentful that he got the job because he was so old, and they wanted a young and hip programmer, but couldn't finding with our small budget. It was lunch time and no one socialized with him so I asked him to lunch. When we set down to eat his eyes watered and he thanked me profusely for offering to eat with him. He told me that he had brain cancer and was dying. He had been praying for this job as he had been laid off. He was commuting to MD from CT where his much younger wife lived with their 5 year old son. He was very stressed to be leaving them behind, and worried that after he died his wife would not have enough money to care for herself and the son. It made me realize how kindness really matters. You never know what someone is going through.[/quote] Oh, wow. That is really moving. You are a good, good person, PP.[/quote]
